Innomakers Programme
The Innomakers Programme( IMP) continues to provide Josephians with a student-driven learning environment where creativity and innovation thrive. Rooted in the principles of Design Thinking, students learn to empathise, design and prototype real-world solutions while honing critical 21st-century competencies such as Adaptive Thinking, Inventive Thinking, Collaboration and Communication. Through this journey, Josephians grow to become Agents of Change, using innovation in service to the wider community.
This year, IMP students were tasked with challenges that pushed them to think critically and inventively:
Year 1: Disaster Rescue Vehicle The students applied their 3D printing skills to prototype a Disaster Rescue Vehicle, designed to provide first aid to those trapped in flood-prone areas. The project tested their ability to merge technical skills with empathy-driven solutions.
Students embarked on different design challenges to solve authentic problems.

Year 2: Sustainable Spaces with Geography In a unique multidisciplinary collaboration with Geography, Year 2 students designed sustainable spaces for Singaporeans. Their projects emphasised environmental responsibility while fostering a strong sense of place and identity.

IMP also provided Josephians with a platform to showcase their skills at the national level. In the Challenge Y Competition, two joint teams from the Josephian Arts Programme and IMP worked on the theme of“ Building Happier, Healthier Relationships.” Guided by professionals in the field, students designed prototypes that addressed pressing social issues, merging empathy with innovation.
